A very odd question. Please refer to your comments made January 1st at 11:46 AM.

1. I feel that under the past board of Selectmen, Andy had NO DIRECTION. He was spoon feeding you items and you as a board of Selectmen were leaning on his every word.


2."THE TOWN MANAGER WORKS FOR YOU!!, YOU AS ELECTED OFFICIALS WORK FOR THE TAXPAYERS AND VOTERS OF UNION Not the other way aroud.”
Are you actually saying that we were working for the town manager doing what exactly??

3."As far as bill packard goes I hope he makes Hutch nervous by looking over his work. I could give you chapter and verse on waistfull highway spending.
It is our largest tax comintment outside of our schools That is part of what we the taxpayers elected him for."
The board hires the town manager to run day to day functions of the town. The board is FORBIDEN to manage or direct any town employees. I believe the board as stepped beyond this boundary when: A. approving Mr. Norris's voting list. (Yes I was on the board at the time but didn’t bring thee issue up because we voted to accept it) B. instructing Mr. Norris to perform all those tasks before he was elected Fire Chief. C. It is the job of the town manager to over see Hutch's work. NOT BILL PACKARD. He may request a report from the town manager about what's being done etc. My short term on the board I NEVER heard, or don't recall, you saying anything about wasteful spending by the Public Works department. In fact at the town meeting the entire Public Works dept. budget passed without a single word being spoken, who is to blame for that?

4. "So don't keep ragging on Nick about not bening re elected to office You did that yourself"
Please direct me to where I was "ragging on Nick for not being elected. It never happened.

5. "Speeking of Town roads The town Voted to open Barrett Hill road to the town line many years ago, and yet Hutch has got ayay with plowing and maintaining just the part he felt like fixing and plowing. You were a Selectmen why did you allow him to do that?"
Remember I was a board member for only 7 months 14 meetings. Please show me when that was an issue? Again why didn't you bring that to the board?

6. "Why did you stand by and support Andy & other town hall employies when they tried to get rid of Linda MscAlaster our ELECTED treasurer She was protecting our tax money and not allowing money to be spent in area's that Ue did not vote for!"
Again I heard about that a few years ago but was not during the time I was on the board.

That is why you got involved with this Mr. Reilly
